My Project

First graders need to learn so much. Why not make it less stressful by giving them the tools to keep their thoughts and materials organized?

A mailbox helps keep materials neat, the calendar helps keep time and the behavior chart teaches self-control.

The start of the new year is the best time to train young minds. Starting first grade knowing everything has a place, every action leads to best practices, and morning routines help start the day off right and help set the tone for the rest of the school year.
